Hi,
Having a separate bugzilla component is obviously good as well as not
having them released makes total sense. I would add also that some will be
deeply missed like pastebin plasmoid or icon tasks but that's just how
things are. Sadly enough, QuickShare (former pastebin) is ported and quite
usable at the moment.

On the other hand I don't like the tone of the conversation, I read many
people here talking about these as if kdeplasma-addons was something
unneeded that some crazy people did some day. I'd like to note most of
these have been discussed here and even developed by people in this mailing
list and many of KDE4/Plasma 1 users rely on those.
